    Despite a weaker conclusion, Obsession is still a top-tier erotic thriller. It combines the intense physicality of a dangerous relationship with the constant tension that is so vital to a thriller. As a short four-episode series, Obsession is a twisted and tantalizing story that is sure to intrigue all those who enjoy this unique genre.

    Murphy, with dark, piercing eyes, a messy bob, and a perpetually forming pout, is the star of the show, and Her performance is one reason why Obsession, adapted by Morgan Lloyd Malcolm and Benji Walters from Josephine Hart’s 1991 novel Damage, is more than mere sordid spectacle. She brings high intensity, as does Armitage. ... Obsession pays admirable attention to craft, and this makes it a lot easier to take the whole thing seriously. It’s far more cinematic than it needs to be.
